Ratio & Savings

medium2012FIA Assistant Director Paper 2012
MathematicsFIA

The monthly incomes of Peter and Pau are in the ratio 4:3, and their expenses are in the ratio 3:2. If each saves Rs. 600 at the end of the month, what are their monthly incomes in Rupees?

A
2300 and 1700
B
2400 and 3400
C
2400 and 1800
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Let Peter's income be 4x and Pau's income be 3x. Their expenses are in ratio 3:2, say 3y and 2y. Since both save Rs. 600, we have 4x - 3y = 600 and 3x - 2y = 600. Solving these equations gives x = 600 and y = 800, so incomes are 2400 and 1800 respectively.

A
Hazrat Sara
B

She is traditionally considered to have been from the Egyptian royal family, often described as the daughter or princess of the Pharaoh of Egypt.

Area & Percentages

medium2012FIA Assistant Director Paper 2012
MathematicsFIA

The length and the breadth of a square are increased by 40% and 30% respectively. By what percentage does the area of the resulting rectangle exceed the area of the original square?

A
83%
B
82%
C
85%
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The original square has side length s, so its area is s². When the length is increased by 40%, the new length becomes 1.4s. When the breadth is increased by 30%, the new breadth becomes 1.3s. The area of the resulting rectangle is therefore 1.4s × 1.3s = 1.82s². This means the new area is 1.82 times the original area, which corresponds to an 82% increase in area. Hence, the correct answer is 82%, which is option B.
